Set over two light-filled floors and offering a private garden, this central King’s Cross home is ticking all our boxes. A brilliant option for a family sharing, alongside the main double bedroom, there’s also a twin bedroom that’s perfect for children sharing and a sofa-bed in the lounge for one extra guest.

Local guide
About Kings Cross
Kings Cross might have a historically seedy reputation on account of being a major London transport hub but things have certainly changed. The area has recently undergone major regeneration works, been pumped with some serious investment, and it is now home to some serious players on the restaurant scene (Granger & Co and Caravan to name just two). You can see some world-class contemporary art at Gagosian Gallery's largest London outpost and you're also within easy walking distance of the charming literary area of Bloomsbury on one side and desirable Islington on the other.
